  <description>&lt;p&gt;Remember when we all thought that the Y2K bug was going to kill us all? You don't? Well, Brian and Angelo are here to remind you. They're also going to remind you that two years after the revelations of the &lt;em&gt;New York Times&lt;/em&gt; UFO article, there's still no disclosure and the government is scaling back some of the things they said about UFOs. It's a Christmas Double Density for all... and a happy New Year too. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;The Samsung Fold hot takes write themselves. Brian found some embarrassing search terms on a work computer a few years ago. The GPS system that helps govern New York City is facing its own personal Y2K. Attention spans are shortenting, hence the short sentences. In UFO news, is science starting to listen? Conspiracy theories seem to have gained traction - why is that? &lt;/p&gt;
